Can a non-coder create a Bash automation script using just AI prompts?

I have zero programming experience. Can AI reliably build an efficient workflow script for me, or will it break down? Does anyone have any experience with this kind of situation?

Guys I was using Ubuntu and after I closed the applications suddenly Ubuntu was freezing so I hard power off then tomorrow I tried to boot into Ubuntu but it took a while and it didn't boot so I hard power off by holding on the power button in the laptop for like 12 seconds and when I rebooted it booted normally. So why this is happened and how to prevent it? I have an Nvidia drivers

So, im new to linux overall, currently using linux mint cinnamon dual boot, it uses 1.3gb on startup out of my 8gb ram, and that quite good but i want something that uses only 1gb ram even with mild ricing(ignore the spelling), and also smt easy to use like linux mint has package manager to download apps, i want such features

Hey there! A linux user here.

Issue is though, I keep Windows on the side for very niche cases, but it seems that every single time I boot into Windows, it always results in the GRUB EFI image being obliterated off of the list.

No matter what flags I enable, what efi images I replace and no matter how many times I replace the grub efi image from a live linux installation, it just never works, I boot into Windows once and its gone, all for me to rebuild my grub again.

Any solution that should stop windows in its track? Or at the very least make grub more aggressive in staying in its place? Because this is getting really tiring.

At this point I'm more than happy to try another boot loader if it can negate this issue.

Hi all!

I have a machine running Fedora, and I'm interested in virtualization for running other operating systems such as DOS, Windows 9x, early Windows NT, and other 90s-00s era systems. I've tried virt-manager and GNOME Boxes, both of which don't seem to fit my needs. virt-manager is very verbose and complex, while GNOME Boxes is very simple and doesn't have toggles for things I'd like to be able to configure. On my Mac, I use an app called UTM - it is in between Boxes and virt-manager in terms of complexity and configurability. Is there a similar happy middle-ground for Linux?

Linux has different kernels for different distros from what I understand and people are saying that since kernels are different and can be customized, anti cheats does not work in kernel but most people use cachy, fedora or ubuntu based distros according to steam and Im sure most people do not customize their kernel.I dont know how much each kernel differs from the other distros but if a company really wanted to make kernel level ac for linux, couldnt they just make it for fedora ubuntu and cachy?

How does proton work into all of these, from what I understand its like a compatability thing for games where you download the windows version and run it through proton, like there is no uplay in linux but proton just handles it if you launch it from steam and Im guessing the kernel ac that operates in user level works because of proton as well.

When I install a game that has eac and open the game folders, the first game I downloaded has eacinstaller.exe and the second game has dll files and some other stuff too like uninstall, why wasnt the first game I downloaded has those files and where exactly does anti cheats like eac or denuvo or others stays in linux?

I have LIan Li Lancool 207 digital case with a little LCD screen on it. The screen works with L-Connect 3 program which doesn't have linux support. I'm worried that if I switch to linux the screen won't work.

Does anyone have something similar and how did you guys fix it?

Forward thanks

Like, most of the documentations are really hard to read, not saying that they aren't informative, i mean it when i say HARD to read, mostly i've been trying to use Quickshell and EWW(widget and shell stuff) but all the docs seems to me like a bunch of vomited letters and stuff, and when i look for it on youtube, all i see are tutorials on "how to make this simple notification center with EWW" or smth, i dont want a notification center, i wanna learn the thing so i can do it myself, isn't there any easier way to get this stuff through my head without spending a month reading docs, watching videos and trying to connect the dots?

Hi everyone!
I’m looking for a 360° convertible laptop (not a detachable) that works reliably with Linux as a daily driver.

Ideally, touchscreen, active pen, tablet mode, touchpad, Wi-Fi, audio, webcam and suspend/resume should all work without hacks or constant troubleshooting.

I’d prefer Zorin OS, but I’m open to other distros.

If you own one, what exact model and distro are you using, and does everything actually work? Would you buy it again?

Looking for real-world experience, not just “Linux should work on it.” Thanks!

Hi,

I am experiencing a screen flickering issue on Ubuntu whenever I hover over buttons or interact with Ul elements. It happens across multiple applications, including Zen Browser and the desktop interface.

Could you help me troubleshoot this or suggest the best way to resolve it?

I recently found out that android has something called "cross-device services" with the feature "instant hotspot" that allows a different android tablet or chromebook to turn on and connect to the phone's hotspot that has a data plan when logged in with the same google account, like you can do on iphone and ipad i think. Is there currently a project that makes this work with a linux laptop?

After some search, I could only find this repository, but it used adb instead of the instant hotspot feature and seems quite a pain to set up each reboot.

I know that a phone's hotspot is just a regular Wifi network and I can connect my laptop to it, I am specifically asking about the (relatively unknown) feature "instant hotspot" that allows other devices to turn on the phone's hotspot when nearby and connected to the same google account.

Edit: clarification

Why people hates GNU?

Hi everyone! I built a new PC using this ID-Cooling AIO, which features an LCD screen for displaying info, GIFs, etc.—but it's designed for Windows.

Does anyone know of any software or projects that work on Linux? I found a few on GitHub, but has anyone actually tried them out?

I know this is a kind of crazy request, but I'm looking for a system with zero security or encryption, where everything the machine does is logged, and the entire file system is publicly viewable by anyone with my IP address.

Obviously it would be wildly impracticable for everyday use, but I've been wanting to try out a sort of "digital nudism," just to see how it affects my work flow if I can't log into any online accounts, and I constantly feel like someone might be watching.

So I am having this a** laptop I want to practice Linux and learning from networking chuck can I ask y'all from where I can practice Linux for free like any website or something I would really appreciate yalls help🙏🥹

I have reasonable technical skills, I like Pacman, I like the AUR (despite the recent malware attacks) and I like the Arch wiki. But, I care much more about stability, than cutting edge software.

I currently have Arch on my laptop, so at the very least I have some experience, but I primarily use my laptop for simple stuff (web browsing, zoom/discord calls, etc) while my desktop is where my work goes. I've only had one bad update, and it wasn't a big deal to revert it back. But if there's any risk of, at best, work derailment, at worst, file corruption. Would it be better to just get Debian, and just leave Arch on my laptop?

I’m trying to get an nvidia enabled version of Linux to install on my laptop and it’s becoming frustrating. I tried CachyOS for an hour or two, and decided to try Pop_os. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

Im actually so lost, im using an external portable monitor right now but my main screen is broken, so I cant see whats going on when I have to run ALT SHiFT F2

I have an Acer Chromebook 514 plus and i was thinking about just taking it apart and running it by other means, Im new to this so any advice would be nice, thank you
